huawei well, for the roll—out of 56. huawei i think has 35% of the network, they we re i think has 35% of the network, they were due to built it but boris johnson wants to scale that down pretty dramatically in just two or three years. this is a fascinating turn of events. ever since the decision was made by borisjohnson, long awaited, it all seemed to be held up over the election in decemberand held up over the election in december and finally the decision was made that huawei could play this limited role, ring fenced role within the new 56 telecoms networks. and the feeling is that coronavirus and the way that china has handled it and the amount of information it has given to the international community has led to a rethink. it isjust really community has led to a rethink. it is just really interesting community has led to a rethink. it isjust really interesting given how much, how long it took the government to make this decision and
10:46 pm
the intelligence agencies were saying that the risk could be mitigated around huawei and were confident about that they seem to be rubbing back what has changed is the conservative party, a lot of tory mps are very uneasy about the uk's relationship with china. just the other week we saw the formation of this new china research group, a real hawks on china who think the uk should be taking a much tougher line and may be the coronavirus has given the conservative party and now the government an excuse. the conservative party and now the government an excuse. and this has obviously enraged donald trump as well. i think it is more connected to that. liz truss has been trying to that. liz truss has been trying to get us a quick trade deal with the us. i think some of this is connected to having to please donald trump and his cabal. i think this is about china, the new cold war which
10:47 pm
has already started, between some parts of the west and china. it is not entirely to do with the hawks in oui’ not entirely to do with the hawks in our conservative party but also what donald trump once. and others want. and the whole com is a story which we will talk about is connected to that. interest income at the source quoted by the telegraph as saying that wants to pull back from the involvement on china but he still wa nts a involvement on china but he still wants a relationship with china but the huawei deal will be significantly scaled back and the paper is saying come to nothing in fa ct by paper is saying come to nothing in fact by 2023. moving on to another store in the ft, the middle east addition of your paper, david. the main story is about china. there was a comment from mike pompeo,
10:48 pm
secretary of state, did not actually specify quite what the retaliation, retaliatory moves would be but the fa ct retaliatory moves would be but the fact that this has gone to the national people's congress, a really for what is in store. we could see a resurgence of all those demonstrations we saw last year. yes, andl demonstrations we saw last year. yes, and i imagine that one of the calculations that xi and the chinese commonest party as mate is now they are through the coronavirus crisis, you might see people coming back onto the streets in the hong kong —— chinese communist party. they have moved very swiftly to impose this new national security law. going back to the sum of the points yasmin was making between the relationships between china and the us and this new cold war, it is really a very tense moment for hong kong. it will be very interesting to see how the
10:49 pm
us plays this. hong kong has given some special trade exemptions, different to those with china, and the us might be able to withdraw those or might choose to. and they are bypassing the legislature there, it seems, by putting it into the basic law which is that many constitution for the territory. this would basically be a fait accompli. yes, but there is a problem when hong kong got its freedom from britain, the system they put in place was an interesting system. it was never going to work for ever. two systems, one nation. my really big anxiety is that whatever games the us begins to play in hong kong, i hope they don't generate or fund oi’ i hope they don't generate or fund or back the kinds of rebellions that
10:50 pm
could lead to real violence from the new presence of the chinese authorities. the paper points out that during the height of those demonstrations last summer, president trump, the paper uses the word tepid, gave tepid backing for the pro—democracy protesters. word tepid, gave tepid backing for the pro-democracy protesters. but now i think for various reasons, picking a fight china would suit the us... there are all kinds of things going on, the way china dealt with the pandemic, it has become a kind of weight to legitimise this new cold war. —— kind of way. it's a very frightening historical moment which ever way you look at it. is 0k, afew which ever way you look at it. is 0k, a few others, the new york times from a beautiful picture on the front, more italians are picking
10:51 pm
fruit with foreign workers scarce. paper was pointing out that it is italians who have gone back to the past in terms of returning to the land and they are the ones having to learn the skills from migrant workers. it's a lovely story and a very striking picture. 0ver workers. it's a lovely story and a very striking picture. over the last few days we have been used to seeing pictures coming out italy people backin pictures coming out italy people back in piazzas and having meals with face masks and gloves on but this is a different image of rural italy. it is a problem a lot of european countries have in that overseas migrant workers not being able to travel in the same numbers that they would come in the uk takes 70-80,000 that they would come in the uk takes 70—80,000 migrant workers due to come and pick fruit and veg each summer. come and pick fruit and veg each summer. countries are having to look to their own workforce and people to try to pick some of this food which will otherwise rot in the fields. i think there is a genuine economic
10:52 pm
benefit. and italy, like spain and france and so much of europe, is reliant on tourism, 15—20% of gdp in spain ins from tourism products and the sun says don't book yet butjet your hopes up. this is from the press co nfe re nce your hopes up. this is from the press conference with priti patel. dates eight fresh hopes emerged of safe corridors but not much detail about it —— they say fresh hopes. safe corridors but not much detail about it —— they say fresh hopeslj don't about it —— they say fresh hopes.” don't know how it will work. if you are going to quarantine people coming here, there is going to be tit—for—tat. i think france has said that they will start at the same process but how do they do this? i think we kind of have to give up on the idea of foreign holidays for a year because inside a plain you cannot guarantee any kind of distancing. —— inside an aeroplane. i would be reluctant for the sake of
10:53 pm
a holiday to get into a specially a low—cost airline. i feel for those industries but i think it is probably too soon. but not an expensive one? ifi had probably too soon. but not an expensive one? if i had a private jet sent to me to go to a private island if richard branson would do that, i will go! well he might take you up on it! david, the same story in the express, let's go on a british summer holiday. that is reference to a clip of richard song for our viewers watching around the world —— cliff richard. i suppose that would give a boost to the british tourism industry but that could be several weeks or months ahead as well? that's right, we still don't know exactly where that we will be able to do that in the uk, whether it measures will be lifted sufficiently to allow that.
10:54 pm
already, i read campsite are seeing an increase in bookings. people are trying to plan ahead in case they are able to get away for a break from their own homes in august or maybe early september. and a quick comment about the quarantine rules, as announced today? we will wait and see. i think they are quite strict point of this is for people coming in and there are fines for them. again, it's a horrible situation internationally. how do you deal with keeping the economy at least ticking over and keeping people safe ? and just as much of europe are easing lockdown, a little confusion about what people can do in terms of getting public transport into the place where they will be isolating for a fortnight. we can discuss all of that in about an hour thank you
10:55 pm
both very much, yasmin and david, for now. that's it for the papers. we have seen some unusually windy weather for this time of year, and on friday the strongest winds reached 60 miles an hour in northern ireland and parts of scotland and in north west wales where we had the low 70s mph. these have been
10:56 pm
bringing large waves to the coastline, many beaches are patrolled for understandable reasons and with similar rough seas expected this weekend, probably best to stay well away. at the weekend we have more rain and strong winds thanks to this slow—moving area of low pressure with the strongest winds closer to the centre of it, just to the north of scotland, and through saturday, although we start off very windy in the north—west, the isobars slowly s pa ce windy in the north—west, the isobars slowly space out and the low pressure gets a bit less intense put up pressure gets a bit less intense put up the winds will lose some of their strength. these are the temperatures starting saturday, blustery winds first thing in western scotland, reaching 60 mph and only slowly easing some rain as well in northern ireland and scotland, wet for most of the day and quite cool. glenn and wales, some sunshine, they could be the odd shower just wales, some sunshine, they could be the odd showerjust about everywhere —— england and wales. 30—a0 mph winds but still up at 50 in northern
10:57 pm
scotland. just 11 degrees in glasgow on saturday afternoon, i9 scotland. just 11 degrees in glasgow on saturday afternoon, 19 in london and even in the wind, not feeling too bad. saturday night, a bit more rain coming through and that it will tend to ease down through sunday with brighter conditions spreading from the west. some more sunshine coming into western areas, 17 in belfast but 22 around london and this warming trend to the weather is set to continue next week as the high pressure builds towards the south. the sunniest weather will be a england and wales, but we could do with some rain. the week weather front will move in from the atlantic bringing some rain back into western scotla nd bringing some rain back into western scotland and northern ireland but probably not too heavy. quite a bit warmer in eastern england, temperatures reaching the mid 20s, and we could see mid to high 20s as we head into the first part of the new week as the weather gets quite a bit warmer. that is your latest
